I've worked around some issues with the LSP and service install/remove/start/stop on Vista. However, as a consequence, if you're using Vista and running SpamPal as an application not a service, when you install or remove the LSP the 'progress' dialog doesn't appear.

This is because we're now spawning a separate spampal.exe instance to do this, as it's the only way to get around the "User Account Control" restriction in Vista (the second spampal.exe is passed the '-install_lsp' or '-remove_lsp' command-line argument and created with /runas Administrator elevated admin rights). Ideally the code should be modified so that the subprocess opens the LSP install/remove progress window itself.
